You guys have to start realizing bodykits dont come as a finished product.

Why are you guys trying to fit your own kits when you cant even fix a simple fiberglass crack ?

Stop blaming the sellers and when you get a kit pay for the kit and installation. Theres a reason why you get fiberglassers and bodykit installers so to speak.

While im at it, dont buy copies if you arnt prepared to do work to make them fit propertly. Go buy gen's your looking at 800 each for front and rear bars and 800 for a pair of skirts.

silent, I know that you know what you're talking about, and i'm not having a go at you personally, but this is what I believe.

The bodykit shop that I have forgotten the name of. Is it carhate or something similar like that charge about $14-1500 for a kit.

Someone else like gforce body kits will sell a full kit for $5-600.

In terms of fitment, I have never fitted a gforce kit, but I have a friend who has one on his car. No work was done to it, just sand, highfill, spray and bolt.

Of course, I understand that fibreglass copies are not perfect. What i'm saying, is that his bodykit is quite acceptable. Say if a genuine bomex/vertex/veilside etc plastic bumper is called 100%, his was probably an 80-85%. That is, you might see a little bit of ripple here and there, little bit sticking out here etc, but generally it was very good.

for 3 times the price i'd expect their things to be better, but to be honest, I have been pretty dissapointed with botht the quality of the product, as well as the way they handle issues wiht their product. Their answer is always let my people fit it. If the fit is shit, it's shit. Doesn't matter how you maneuver it and bolt it, it won't fit well. For the kit that i'm talking about, it needed reglassing of certain bits, etc etc.

The smash repairer was looking for another 1500 on top of that to make it good. Note, that is not painting, that is just the fibre work. The car was going to be sprayed anyways. Also, the 1500 was not to make it perfect. He wanted 5k.

So suddenly this bodykit ends up costing almost as much as a genuine abs one, but it's still not abs
